This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we're taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories. Across these conversations, a common thread emerges: what happens when we move beyond fear, beyond punishment, and toward systems rooted in dignity, truth, and possibility?This show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: What happened when Illinois ended cash bail? As Laura's guests explain, this deeply discriminatory and unjust system puts “a ransom on people's heads,” disproportionately impacts Black and Brown people, and favors the wealthy who can buy their freedom while leaving the poor to languish in jail. Bail reform has faced tremendous pushback over the years, but Illinois implemented the first-of-its-kind Pretrial Fairness Act, ending cash bail statewide in 2023. The historic win didn't happen overnight. In this episode some of those most involved explain what it took and describe the surprising results. Sharone R. Mitchell Jr., the Cook County Chief Public Defender was the lead policy expert for the Coalition to End Money Bond. Mitchell also heads the state's largest public defender office. State Senator Robert Peters represents Illinois' 13th District and was one of the main sponsors of the Pretrial Fairness Act. He chairs the Senate Labor Committee. Bryce Covert followed this important and under-covered story for The Nation magazine. What has Illinois to teach the nation? All that plus Laura's commentary: Illinois has moved out of the Middle Ages. What's holding the rest of the nation back?“I do think that there has been a severe backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement, to criminal justice reform that's pretty nationwide . . . That said, Illinois is out there doing this, and I think people are taking note . . . So as long as this stays in place and we have good data about the outcomes and people keep supporting it and don't give into the opposition that wants to push to roll it back, then we will have proof that this can happen, that this can work.” - Bryce Covert“Literally the hardest job I had was talking to mothers and grandmothers and partners about whether they should be paying this a thousand dollars for bond or a thousand dollars for rent. We were forcibly extracting money out of the people that needed it the most. And I'm so glad that we are now in a system where we realized that we can make these really important decisions without quite frankly putting ransoms on people's heads.” - Sharone R. Mitchell Jr.". . . The president was involved in criminal behavior. Rudy Giuliani was involved in criminal behavior. They had no problem being able to either pay out or pay within the legal system. Working class people on the other hand, many of them who are innocent, many of them who are just trying to live their life or trying to move on, they can't. A billionaire who's able to game the court system and be able to get out has no business trying to lecture the working class of this country.” - Robert PetersGuests:• Bryce Covert: Contributor, The Nation• Sharone R.

State attorneys general have been in the news a lot lately. But many people don't fully understand what the job of state attorney general entails, and voters too often skip these races on their ballot because they don't know anything about the office or the candidates. With 30 states and the District of Columbia holding elections for their attorneys general this November, understanding the role of your state attorney general is important to being an informed voter. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin joins Broken Law to talk about what the job of a state AG is and what's at stake in these elections. Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today: ACSLaw.orgHost: Valerie Nannery, Senior Director of Policy and ProgramGuest: Matthew Platkin | Partner, Platkin LLP; former New Jersey Attorney GeneralLink: ACS Event: Protecting Voters & Our Votes: State Attorneys General on Democracy's Frontlines Link: State Attorneys General Project Link: Voter Protection Volunteer Opportunities  Visit the Podcast Website: Broken Law PodcastEmail the Show: Podcast@ACSLaw.orgFollow ACS on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn | YouTube-----------------Broken Law: About the law, who it serves, and who it doesn't.-----------------Production House: Flint Stone MediaCopyright of American Constitution Society 2026.

In Louisiana v. Callais, a divided Supreme Court narrowed the circumstances in which states may use race as a factor in drawing election districts. The Court, in an opinion authored by Justice Alito, held that compliance with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can justify the use of race in redistricting only when the circumstances give rise to a strong inference that the State intentionally denied minority voters an equal opportunity to elect their preferred candidates because of race. Justice Kagan penned a dissent, which argued that the majority opinion “renders Section 2 all but a dead letter.”Callais has already begun to shape litigation elsewhere. A pending federal complaint against the Denver Public School Board alleges that the board violated Section 2 and the Fifteenth Amendment by deliberately redrawing two of its seven districts to preserve Black and Hispanic electoral majorities, with board members explaining the effort in terms of ensuring that students are “represented by people who look like them.” Supporters of the board’s decision argue that shared racial background should be a meaningful consideration in political representation. Critics counter that this reasoning revives the same race-based logic the Constitution forbids, and that voters and candidates should be evaluated as individuals rather than as members of racial groups.Callais has also shaped important policy decisions. In June, the Office of Legal Counsel relied on Callais to conclude that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Title VII guidelines were unconstitutional because they contemplated liability based on disparate effects alone, without regard to an employer’s likely intent, and pressured employers to engage in race-based decision making.Join us for a webinar examining the downstream effects of the Callais decision and what it may mean for redistricting disputes like the Denver case and others like it.Featuring: Michael A.

George PelecanosTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know George Pelecanos. George is a New York Times bestseller and the author of 25 books, most of which are in the crime fiction genre, and based in and around the Washington, D.C. area. In this episode, we chat about Some of his early experiences growing up in the U.S. capital, a very meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. event that he stumbled upon, and the 'Salad Days' of the D.C. Punk Rock scene. Of course, I dive into what lead him to become a writer in the first place. George didn't write his first novel until he was in his 30s, so I ask him why it took so long and what he was doing to further that goal in the meantime. Then we get into some of George's first books and what those early paydays looked like for him. I would like to thank George for his candidness as far as those early numbers & and those first few steps on his path to the undeniable success that he enjoys now. (Thanks George!). Next, we get into His work as a script doctor and how he came to be one of the writers & producers of 'The Wire'. Not only was George a writer, producer of that show, but he also worked on 'The Deuce', 'We Own the City', 'Treme', 'The Pacific', and so many more. We talk about his screenwriting, his experiences working on some of those shows and why David Simon chose to hire him in the first place; as well as his experiences living in some of those filming locations. Finally, we discuss George's newest novel which is titled "THE BLUE FLAME". This marks the 6th novel featuring his most popular character Derek Strange. George has written Derek Strange stories from when Derek was 12, all through the years to this current story where Derek is in his 70s. We also do a little bit of a deep dive on why some of the details in his books are so important, and why he thinks it matters to get those details correct, even when writing fiction. George also has his next novel already written! "Tell Chuck Berry the News" is a standalone work of fiction that is slated to be released next year. Make sure you check out A-L-L of George's novels and story collections, follow him on social media, and tell him you heard him on Fascination Street Podcast!

Qualified immunity is one of the most misunderstood and controversial doctrines in American policing. Does it actually protect good officers making reasonable decisions, or has it become a barrier that keeps legitimate civil-rights claims from ever reaching a jury?In this episode of Two Cops One Donut, Sgt. Erik Lavigne sits down with civil-rights attorney Brandon Grable of Clearly Established for an in-depth discussion on what qualified immunity actually is, what it is not, and whether law enforcement really needs it.Joining the conversation are retired law enforcement officers Matt Thornton, Zoel “Red Dog” Murphy, and Banning Sweatland.The discussion breaks down qualified immunity without the usual slogans, including the “clearly established law” standard, why a constitutional violation can occur while an official still receives immunity, the difference between qualified immunity and Graham v. Connor's objective-reasonableness standard, indemnification and who actually pays civil judgments, the difference between civil and criminal accountability, First Amendment cases, police training, the role of the courts, and what could replace qualified immunity if it disappeared.Brandon also explains why eliminating qualified immunity would not eliminate the protections officers receive when their actions are objectively reasonable, and Erik openly challenges several assumptions he previously held about why officers need the doctrine.By the end of the nearly three-hour conversation, Erik reaches a conclusion he did not expect when the episode began.This is not a pro-police versus anti-police debate. It is a long-form attempt to understand how qualified immunity actually works, why critics believe it is fundamentally broken, what legitimate protections police officers still need, and how citizens should be able to seek accountability when government violates constitutional rights.If you have ever heard someone say “qualified immunity protects bad cops,” “abolishing qualified immunity will bankrupt police officers,” or “qualified immunity prevents officers from being criminally charged,” this episode is designed to separate the myths from the actual legal questions.Educational and entertainment purposes only.

On this special edition of The Mother's Justice Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury Sr. welcomed the show's very own Reverend Harriett G. Walden. Together, they traced decades of civil rights advocacy, from family roots in 1800s Florida to the founding of Mothers Against Police Harassment, the creation of the Community Police Commission (CPC), the federal Consent Decree. Reverend Walden defined her core philosophy of justice, fairness, and love while offering guidance for the next generation of community organizers.

Season 12 of Bionic Planet begins by going backwards. Climate change has fallen off the public radar just as the need for workable solutions has become more urgent. I've long argued that the great tragedy of climate and biodiversity finance is that those who understand it most have their noses to the grindstone, while those who understand it least have their mouths to the megaphone. That's one reason I'm bringing back Episode 35, which originally aired on October 31, 2018. It became one of the most popular episodes of Bionic Planet, and listening to it now, I'm struck by how directly it speaks to the mess we're in today. The guest is Reverend Dr. Gerald L. Durley, a veteran of the U.S. civil rights movement who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and later became a psychologist, minister, and environmental advocate. I first encountered him at the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit, where he did something few speakers manage to do in a room full of climate-policy wonks: he electrified it. Durley argues that the civil rights movement succeeded not because the facts were sufficient, but because people learned how to organize around them. They took risks. They made sacrifices. They connected moral conviction with strategy and turned outrage into action. That lesson feels especially relevant now. Those of us working on viable climate solutions knew that many of the mechanisms being built were imperfect, but we also knew they were improving and generating results. Too often, we kept our heads down and continued doing the work while purists, propagandists, and opportunists took over the public conversation. Once the public lost faith in viable solutions, they shut down on the problem as well.  That failure to defend workable solutions — and the consequences of ceding the megaphone — is a central theme of The Carbon Paradox, and it will be a recurring theme of this season of Bionic Planet. In this conversation, Durley talks about what climate advocates can learn from the civil rights movement: how to communicate beyond statistics, why fear alone doesn't mobilize people, how faith communities can contribute, and why movements ultimately need more than good arguments. They need strategy. They need sacrifice.

On Episode 185, Alan Sanders looks at a ban the media quickly turned into a story about itself, then breaks down Operation Economic Outcast and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's campaign sanctioned Iran's remaining airlines and warned that airports, fuel suppliers, and ticket sellers who keep serving those carriers risk being cut off from the dollar system. After the September 23 deadline, countries including Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Oman, Turkey, and the UAE restricted or halted Iranian flights. We close with a silly news story from NBC and what it might be telling us about how the media thinks about the maturity of their audience.

There's so much to learn from the life, work, and legacy of civil rights activist, organizer, and lawyer Walter Riley. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the book Civil Rights and Structural Attacks: Conversations with Walter Riley, edited by Jesse Strauss (and published by AK Press), which features a conversation between Walter Riley and Jesse Strauss in which Riley shares political reflections and lessons from eight decades of his own movement work, and a discussion of the importance of relationship- and coalition-building and political action in our personal and collective organizing, activism, learning, and reflection work, and what we learn and take away from this incredible book in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.Follow us on social media and visit our website! ⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a voice message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch store⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

For the third installment of our month-long collaboration with the This Day podcast, we go to 1964 and a moment when the two major parties in this country, in a sense, switched. This Day hosts Jody Avirgan, Nicole Hemmer, and Kellie Carter Jackson are joined by Eric K. Ward, executive vice president of Race Forward, to trace the story from Jim Crow through the New Deal and into the Civil Rights Act—and to understand why the Democratic coalition that produced it was always too contradictory to survive. How did Black voters move from Lincoln's party to LBJ's? And what did White Southerners do when their party started to leave them behind? Be sure to check out Eric's documentary White with Fear on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/show/white-with-fear/ Learn more about this special series here: https://kettering.org/america-250-podcast-series-begins-in-september/ If you enjoy this episode, go over to This Day's feed for two more episodes on each of these historical topics. The Context's host, Alex Lovit, will be the guest in the third episode each week. Listen to all episodes here: https://www.jodyavirgan.com/political-history-show Attention, Washington, DC-area listeners! Join us on Monday, October 19, 2026, for a live taping of This Day. The Context host, Alex Lovit, will join This Day hosts live on stage. The featured guest is Kettering Senior Fellow Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II. They will be in conversation about the moment of democratic realignment we are living through right now. Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in who holds power, who gets left out, and how race and class are reshaping the coalitions that define American politics? And what can history teach us about moments like this one? The event is open to the public, and tickets are available through the Howard Theatre: https://www.unionstagepresents.com/shows/this-day-live-the-next-realignment-presented-by-the-charles-f-kettering-foundation-19-oct Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

No charges in Nolan Wells case - evidence of a conspiracy, or justice served? Has Mississippi really improved on its racist past? It's 2026 and we are still left to ask the same questions as 1956; Not everyone remembers the Civil Rights era the same way

"If you don't understand the history of Black women, you don't understand the history of America." Those words from Nobel Prize-winning novelist Toni Morrison open Sasha Bonét's debut memoir, "The Waterbearers".

Nearly six months in jail. Charges dismissed. Now a federal lawsuit. How does an investigation get that far without somebody stopping to check the evidence?On this episode of Two Cops One Donut, Erik Lavigne breaks down Angela Lipps' lawsuit against Fargo and a detective after a facial recognition lead connected her to a bank fraud investigation. We discuss the reported identification mistake, her alleged alibi, and the checks that should happen before somebody loses their freedom.A computer giving you a possible match should mean you have more investigating to do. So where were the follow-up questions? Who reviewed the case? And when an investigation goes wrong, is firing somebody enough?Then we get into an NYPD officer accused of burglary and using police databases to monitor the investigation into himself. He has pleaded not guilty. The bigger question: who's watching what officers do with the information they can access?Along the way, the live chat pushes the conversation into confirmation bias, meaningful consequences, database audits, and why Erik changed his position on muting body cameras.In this episode:• 00:00 Welcome and today's police accountability discussion• 11:36 Angela Lipps: the Fargo facial recognition case• 30:50 What supervisors should catch before an arrest• 33:06 The lawsuit and why “she eventually got out” isn't enough• 38:52 Keep facial recognition or ban it?• 41:10 Case numbers, audits, and independent review• 49:22 Useful technology still needs human verification• 51:10 Confirmation bias: looking for evidence or confirming a belief?• 59:45 Erik's take on consequences for failed investigations• 01:08:34 NYPD officer accused of checking his own investigation• 01:14:01 Police database access: who checks the searches?• 01:21:59 Body cameras: muting versus redacting• 01:25:42 The mental toll of reviewing disturbing footageWhat would meaningful accountability look like to you? And what safeguards would you require before trusting police with facial recognition?Watch the full video and join future livestreams on YouTube at Two Cops One Donut.

Healthcare marketing spent four years settling on one answer to the tracking problem. Get consent, log it and honor it. It rests on an assumption nobody checked, which is that a person is on the other side of the banner reading the question. Software answers that question now. AI browsers do the browsing for people, and when one meets a consent modal it clears the modal as an obstacle. The decision gets logged. Nobody made it. The record a health system would produce to show it honored patient choice is turning into a record of machine behavior. But patients were not reading the banner either. They clicked to make it go away. What changed is who is clicking, which raises a real question about what the consent ever documented. It gets worse at the portal. A patient can hand their own record to an AI tool, and the moment they do, the law protecting it stops applying. HIPAA gives them that right and does not let a provider refuse because the destination is unwise. A health system must complete a handoff it would be sued for making on its own. Marketing owns the door the agent arrives at, and inherits a problem it did not create and cannot fix with a banner. Underneath both sits a question about authority. No regulator drew this line. The federal guidance that set off the panic was vacated in court and never replaced, and the rule meant to succeed it keeps moving further out. The working standards came from settlements instead, which produce a price rather than a principle, and the patient whose information was disclosed collects about twenty dollars. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith work through whether calibrating to litigation risk is honest risk management or an industry declining to decide what right looks like. Jessica Holton, co-founder of Ours Privacy, brings the view from inside that constraint. She was buying media for a telehealth platform when the pixel guidance landed, pulled her tracking, and watched acquisition costs climb. Her argument is that privacy becomes an asset once the whole organization owns it. Her survey names the blind spot. Nearly everyone believes their stack is compliant, and a majority describe that same stack as pieced together. If software declined tracking on a patient's behalf this morning, your consent log recorded a decision nobody made.

The U.S. Election Commission last decade found the number to be approximately 2.1% nationally. And how high has the number proven to be in specific communities? Up to 17.3%! That was the result of a congressional finding in 2022. Btw, the highest reported findings in the state of Florida, via the United States Commission on Civil Rights, found that up to 11% of vote-by-mail ballots in select communities within our state were attempted to be delivered to the wrong place. Let me ask you...do you think it's potentially a big deal if about 2% of vote-by-mail ballots, which is now how about a third of the country votes, aren't actually delivered to the voters who who're registered to vote?

Best-Selling Author & Distinguished Carter G. Woodson book award presented to exemplary books written for children and young people each year at the NCSS Annual Conference.Robert H. Mayer is the award-winning author of When the Children Marched: The Birmingham Civil Rights Movement and the editor of The Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a teacher, Mayer's passion continues to be making history relevant and accessible to young people. His time spent in Jackson, Canton, and McComb, Mississippi, as well as meeting scholars and activists integral to the civil rights movement, fueled the desire to write In the Name of Emmett Till. He lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, with his wife Jan, where he writes, teaches, and tutors youth in a local middle school.The  2002 BAFTA, SAC, Critics Choice Award Balloted Movie “Till”  lead actress Danielle Deadwyler gives an unforgettable performance as Mamie Till-Mobley, showing deep grief and fierce.  Mamie's actions galvanized the Civil Rights Act of 1957. She dedicated her life to teaching children while continuing to fight for civil rights in America. The 1955 murder of Emmett Till in Mississippi is widely remembered as one of the most horrible lynching's in American history. African American children old enough that year to be aware personally felt the terror of Till's murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till's death possible. Over the next decade, from the violent Woolworth's lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, determined to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world. © 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBAS

In this epsiode of the ATA Podcast, guests Olivia Caputo and Jamie Hartz tell us about Language Access Cards, a free downloadable resource from ATA that Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals can present in settings like hospitals and courtrooms to request assistance in their language and to prompt language services providers for assistance with language access resources. Historically, federal agencies and organizations that receive government funding have had to take reasonable steps to assist those who are LEP. If an agency or organization does not assist those who are LEP, it may be violating the law. ATA wants to help you access these services in your language!   Download the Language Access cards here: https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/know-your-rights-to-language-access/   If you don't see your language or would like to volunteer to translate a version of the card, reach out at pr-chair@atanet.org.   Show Notes: American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): https://www.aclu.org/affiliates HHS Office for Civil Rights: https://www.stopbullying.gov/language-assistance-services Medicare: https://www.medicare.gov/ Social Security Administration: https://www.ssa.gov/ Language Access Resources by Location: https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/know-your-rights-to-language-access Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ Benefits of ATA Membership: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/benefits-of-membership/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/ ATA's 67th Annual Conference: https://www.atanet.org/ata67/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to podcast@atanet.org.

On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, as Georgia leads most states in development and operation of data centers, a report from Greenlink Analytics and Science for Georgia is skeptical of their expected growth beyond 2030. It claims the industry is planning massive infrastructure expansions that has “about a 0.2% chance of actually materializing.” We discuss the potential future of data centers in Georgia, and what it means for resource consumption in the state with Etan Gumerman, Director of Analytics at Greenlink Analytics, and Amy Sharma, Executive Director of Science for Georgia. Then, former chief classical music critic for The New York Times Anthony Tommasini believes the cultural impact of Marian Anderson has been lost over the generations. In Tommasini’s new book, “Voice of a Century: The Life and Artistry of Marian Anderson,” he shines a light on the operatic talent and the civil rights fight of the singer. It shares how Anderson broke racial barriers in opera, while holding the same crowds and stages as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., including her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial where she performed for 75,000 people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James asks Kareem how the game has changed since his playing days, and Kareem explains the shift toward the three-point shot, the rule changes around physical defense, and the way modern spacing has altered how teams score.But the conversation quickly becomes deeper than basketball.James sees Becoming Kareem as a book about the search for identity. Kareem agrees, explaining that Black Americans have often had identities imposed on them—first through slavery, then through Jim Crow, then through the lingering assumptions and limitations of American racism. His own journey required rejecting those imposed definitions and building an identity he could be proud of.Kareem emphasizes the importance of mentors. Some were direct mentors, like John Wooden and Bruce Lee. Others were cultural or intellectual mentors, like Malcolm X. Together, they helped him understand not only how to succeed, but how to think about who he wanted to become.The central advice Kareem gives young people is simple: knowledge is power. Learn what your future could be. Seek out what motivates you. Do not let someone else define your path. Every person has a unique spark, and the work is to discover where that spark leads.James and Kareem also talk about fundamentals. Kareem remembers John Wooden expecting him to graduate and teaching his players the smallest details of preparation, including how to put on their socks. The lesson is that success depends on doing the basic things correctly before the glamorous work begins.The conversation then turns to Kareem's life as a writer. James asks about the challenge of moving from basketball into Sherlock Holmes fiction. Kareem explains that writing Mycroft Holmes required serious preparation: understanding Victorian England, Arthur Conan Doyle's canon, and the possibilities hidden inside Mycroft's brief appearances.Kareem also reflects on Islam, his conversion, and the way faith gave him a moral anchor. He talks about being raised Catholic, studying Islam, reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and finding a belief system that helped him understand right and wrong.Near the end, James asks about Kareem's seriousness in photos and the HBO documentary Kareem: Minority of One. Kareem explains that his height made him visible everywhere he went, and that constant scrutiny made him more guarded than someone who could disappear into a crowd.The episode closes with the idea that everyone is, in some way, a minority of one. Every person has to figure out their own path, and often that path is not the one their parents followed. Kareem's story is about basketball, but it is also about becoming a whole person.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode.
